31

Catch mind wandering
From writing and a phone call
Let it keep going.

30

I'm drunk on purpose
Charmed myself via charming
A bunch of strangers

29

Drawn there, so I go
Expect to shine, I've saved up
Energy for this

28

Doesn't feel special
It's just work. Although friendships,
Frustrations here too.

27

We're connected on
A different plane, in some
Other dimension

26

Bike to work, to set
Revisit habit that once
Carried me through days

25

Just a day at work.
Ease into the next six days.
Make them feel easy.

24

Would I say lazy?

Yes, or stuck in "too good for."

Wasted people's time.

23

Eat too much Chinese

As we go over what we're

Gonna make this week

22

Flowers fill up my 

Home and make it feel that much

More alive today

21

Find the wall ahead
Tap lightly to know its weight
I'll stand here a bit

20

Look at my fingers
Wondering what letters I'll
Use to say the things

19

Read and reread what
I've written to cross out the
Words that aren't needed

18

How to call dream that
sits on edge of sleep, follows
for flash as you wake?

17

I'm her "ride or cry."
As I recognize today.
So mindful it hurts.

16

Open my hands to
The world and on this day the
Universe gives back

15

Lightness I read, and
Then Quickness (slowly). Take them
Straight into my life

14

SWAT team donates blood
Today too and clearly do
This regularly

13

little kid looks back
again, I look out, keep our
eye contact to once

12

Six lanes of traffic
As old couple sits on porch
Watching world go by

11

Walk to think to be
Imagine chance encounters
And follow those threads

10

With a smile, Yenni
says, "You look like you're in love."
(Marvel that it shows)

9

At 12 hours, hit wall
The heat or no caffeine or
Maybe that's enough

8

The blues allow me
This day and a bed time of
9:15 pm

7

Clarity, I say
So much of it as I trace
Feelings to the cause

6

Ah, hello tears that
Show up as giggles and turn
Into deep dark blues.

5

There are people who
Bring so much joy to my life
By being alive

4

I don't remember
This bench as blue but as my
Blues bench, it's fitting

3

Olivia walks
Me around the lake and I
Find solace in words

2

I'm thinking big thoughts
They run around circling through
I watch them swirl, sink

1

With help things seem so
Much lighter and allows me
To appreciate
